This is my second attempt to watch this film after 13 years and I failed again to complete watching it. At the first time, I thought maybe I wasn't in the right mood and I couldn't get into it enough. But this time I realized that the director's choice for using a sinister, disturbing film scoring (music) going on ALL THE TIME no matter what is happening on the screen kills it for me. This is something that happens with cheap TV films or amateur student shorts, a veeery wrong use of scoring. Of course, since this is a big movie with enough budget, the scoring and the recording and mixing is brilliant. So, it's not about the music or the composer but the director's choice.
I get that most people don't even notice this kind of thing and enjoy the film but I couldn't help it. Maybe it's because I'm a musician.
Undoubtedly Daniel Day-Lewis is an incredible actor and he acts brilliantly in this film too.
